Current New England Patriots players have largely remained silent about their now-former teammate, Aaron Hernandez, who was charged with murder Wednesday in Massachusetts. But a recently retired Patriot and former teammate of Hernandez did have critical words about him.

“I never talk about other guys, but I will say that I have never embraced—never believed in—anything Aaron Hernandez stood for,” former offensive tackle Matt Light told the Dayton Daily News. Light retired after the 2011 season following 11 years in New England.

The interview took place Tuesday, according to writer Tom Archdeacon, a day before Hernandez’s arrest. Light said, as paraphrased by the writer, that Hernandez always had his own agenda—and it wasn’t a good one.

The story did not specify what Light believed Hernandez “stood for,” or what his “agenda” was.

Light’s final two NFL seasons overlapped with Hernandez’s first two; they played together on the Patriots team that lost to the Giants in Super Bowl XLVI.

The Patriots have not commented on Hernandez since releasing him shortly after his arrest Wednesday. Fox Sports reported that Patriots rookies attending the NFL’s Rookie Symposium in Ohio this week were not made available to reporters on Wednesday.
